I have a plastic bottle in my bedroom so I can pee in, cuz it's convenient and if I wake up in the middle of the night I need to walk all the way to the toilet and I can't fall asleep afterwards. My roommate found out and was disgusted, is it a bad habit?

Yea, that is pretty disgusting right there.
-
Nas. Tee.
-
Geez, you can't haul your ass out of bed and go pee? C'mon guy, get the lead out.
-
In our more modern world with wide spread plumbing, many people consider such things as disgusting, but in the recent past, when outhouses were the toilets, bedpans were extremely common and most people used them and kept one under their bed and just emptied and rinsed it in the morning.
-
Yeah its kinda weird. But not the weirdest thing in the world. I have to get up and pee a couple of times a night but I am lucky I can go right back to sleep. Maybe you can consider not drinking anything for a few hours before going to sleep. And of course, going right before you get in bed.
-
That's kinda nasty. Not many people have pee buckets in their house anymore, since the bathroom is usually just down the hall. Plus, you just have a bottle of piss in your room.....stagnating. This isn't exactly a good thing.
-
It's a bad habit. Most people are going to consider it gross to have a bottle of urine in your bedroom, and besides, what if you spilled?
-
It's not that bad if you had an ailment but a young person that dosen't want to walk to a bathroom ...You go figure.I'm 50's and when I wake up through the night I have to walk way downstairs sleep or no sleep,I certainly don't pee in my hubby's proper bottle,he has an ailment or he wouldn't be doing it either....lol lol.It's one stinky bad habit.
-
It's pretty triflin'.
-
That's way up there on the list of things I NEVER EVER EVER want to discover about someone I'm dating. That's just really really gross, my friend. Really gross.
-
Get up. Go to the bathroom. or your gonna step on that bottle some day and....you know.
-
I see nothing wrong with it as long as you use the proper supplies, and keep it clean. You can purchase personal Male Urinals at any medical/hospital supply store. They sell personal disposal systems for women as well. Many of the people I meet in the homes where I do volunteer work use them, and they are not only the elderly folks.
-
Yes thats a bad habit
-
having suffered with a sleep disorder since '73 i do understand how affected you are by your ailment.i have noticed you have received a few neg answers but don't let it bother you.try to avoid drinking too much of liquids before bedtime.your roommate became disgusted with you because he/she felt you were being nasty.had you discussed this before,things would have been different.
-
See, back during the days when you have no water closets you keep a chamber pot underneath your bed, I don't see why it's that bad? I would say I belong before 19th century. There must be something people practice like the old days even though you could use what is invented in the 19th century. Well, some people in countries such as rural areas of China lacking indoor plumbing uses chamber pots anyways...
-
it's kinda gross... just get up and pee -
-
As a former sailor that used to have a long walk to the head (over 100 yards, after accounting for stairs) or just plain not had the luxury of being able to walk away from my watch-station, I have to say that it is TOTALLY understandable.... so long as the vessel gets emptied and rinsed out at first opportunity. For those of us that have ever used a kitchen-type container and measured out a 34 fl. oz. (~1 liter) piss, that practice really is not that gross.
-
Well yes it is a nasty habit, think about this.. pigs don't even pee or defecate where they sleep and pigs aren't even potty trained.
-
Yeah that's pretty gross and kind of a foul habit. It's also super goddamn lazy. The bathroom cannot be far enough away to seriously hinder you. If you can make it there in the daytime, I'm pretty sure you can make it in the middle of the night as well. I mean, think: it's a bottle of urine. Enough said.
-
I don't see anything wrong with it..as long as you empty it in the morning.
-
My roommate does the same thing because we have only on bathroom between the two of us.
-
I'm not going to say it's gross, but I'm going to say you should be considerate of your roommate's needs and your roommate should be considerate of your needs, too. I understand why you're doing what you're doing, although I find it a bit unusual. I'm not so sure I would call it a bad habit, but I'm going to say that it is most likely not socially acceptable where you live. I know it wouldn't be socially acceptable where I live, either. I share a room with two of my sisters and I sure hope they don't have this habit. I mean, there's a bathroom right beside our room.
-
Is trhere a cap on the bottle, Its not like you out in in your roomates room is it?
-
I do it. I simply don't have time to walk to the toilet everytime I have to pee because I take Hydroxycut and live in a dormitory with a large bathroom building outside, down a long sidewalk. If I gotta go, it's often very sudden. I ain't pissin' my pants. That's more disgusting. I ain't missing sleep when I work 12 hours shifts six days a week. Fuck that mess, I'll keep pissin' in bottles. I just screw a cap on tight so it doesn't smell and take it out with the trash the very next time I take my trash out.
-
It sounds very practical, but there is just something about it that doesn't seem right. This was common in times past however, so if it works for you I say do it.
-
If you lived in the woods somewhere and had to use it outside.. I can see it... In a college dorm or with a room mate... gross.
-
My daughter's husband has this habit. Both she and I find it absolutely disgusting. But you knew that, already, didn't you?
-
That's not a bad habit. Your roommate sounds like a real pansy, unless it's like a girl or something, tell your roommate to buck up and be a man, it's only a bit of piss in a bottle.
-
Kind of.....wash that thing regularly
-
As long as you empty it every day, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If you leave it for days, then I would have.
-
You have one good reason, you can't go back to sleep if you get up. If there is another, like having to get dressed and go down a public hallway, that may be the clue to your first problem. I would try to avoid drinking anything before I went to bed, and try to work out a solution as to not keep urine in the room with someone that doesn't like it, even if it is sealed.

Lots of truck drivers keep something like that in their trucks. Or, sometimes, we use like a milk jug or Snapple (c) bottle. Open it, whiz, close lid tightly, bombs away out the window to the side of the road. I'm sure you've seen plenty off of highway exits. The industry term, no fooling, is 'urine bombs.'
-
Yeah. Like, how far away is your toilet???
-
Only if you forget and take a drink from the bottle.
-
ummm, yeah its a pretty gnarly habit dude. I'd ditch that one and learn how to rock your ass back to sleep after your midnight tinkle
-
I think you should get a job soon driving a truck across country. You'd be very well trained for it, not stops for you!
-
It's not lemonaid!
-
I understand about not being able to get back to sleep if you get up. Insomnia is awful. So, using the bottle isn't what is gross, not throwing it away immediately (or dumping it and cleaning it)upon waking up is what is nasty.
-
yes; that is disgusting
-
How much is "all the way"? 20 feet?
-
I didn`t find it totally disgusting until I read the part about him keeping it in his room long term and spilling it on his hand or whatever. If he disposed of the pee first thing in the morning I could see, and if he only did it once in a while. But doing it every night and leaving it lying around for ages, yeah that`s pretty gross.
-
Dude... that's foul.
-
My husband did this when I first met him. I didn't discover it until the middle of the night several month in. I was horrified. It was almost a closer. But..you are two guys, right? What the hell does it matter if your roommate knows about it. You have separate beds right?
-
It is a bit unusual. Maybe it's you peeing in a bottle that disgusts your roommate. Why don't you get yourself a potty or something with a lid on it. At least that way you won't sprinkle on the floor.
-
OK here's the deal. When a long haul trucker is parked, and in the sleeper berth and wakes up at 3:00 AM needing to pee, what do you think he does. Do you think he gets up, puts on his clothes, and walks to the restroom in the truckstop? IT AIN'T HAPPENIN'. He does the same thing you're doing, but I don't see it as being nearly as inconvenient for you to simply get out of bed and walk to the bathroom.
-
that is GROSS..sorry
-
Ok I understand why, but come on. That is some real lazy azz shit right there. Just get your tail out the bed and walk to the bathroom. But at least you don't pee the bed. Do you have a s/o? I wonder how they feel about this nasty mess.
-
its a really nasty habit.no girl will like that you do that.
-
Yes talk about lazy
-
Yeah, that is pretty gross. Just walk the extra bit and use the bathroom.
-
Eeww - gross. Your roommate is sooo right!
-
Well wouldnt that actually take more effort to do? you can sleepwalk to the bathroom, pee, and wipe. With a bottle (especially for a lady) you have to have perfect aim and balance. If you do it well then 'handclap for you'
-
Really, as long as no one else is involved, then it should be up to you. Why not just have a catheter installed?
-
In my opinion, yes this is disgusting. It's not the most disgusting thing in the world though. Don't drink a lot of liquid before bed and stop being so lazy.
-
Ok, with me as long as you empty it as soon as you get up. Don't leave the bottle full :)
-
I would just say... DUH!
-
ewwhhhhhhhhh !! oh hahaha! sorry this is hilarious ! Of course its ok with me just make sure you empty it !:P
-
i do the same cheers man
-
they sell pee bottles like those in the hospital urnials they sell them in drug stores they have a wide mouth so you dont miss the hole also you may have sleep apnea not sure if i spelled it right but the brain shouldnt get up to pee mabey once but no more look into it
-
NO just remember to take care of it.
-
You should never put non-food into a food container, someone may try to eat or drink it.
-
Is your bed seriously that far away from the bathroom?
-
Honestly, I also find it disgusting. Sorry
-
Bad Habit, guess not. Disgusting yup! Guess trying to picture you peeing in a bottle. So you don't walk to the bathroom 'cause you don't get up. Let's see the walk to the bath 30 seconds, peeing 30-60 seconds, wash hands 20 seconds, walk back to bed 30 seconds. So all together 2 1/2 minutes. Laying/sitting on bed peeing in bottle 30-60 seconds, wiping hands with something 20 seconds. Yup I see you gained 1 minute good for you! You should be selling pee bottles on the internet!
-
I think there are worse disgusting habits out there...but then again...I wouldn't want to have to look at it myself..lol I know for me, my goal is to NOT fully wake up, but just to wake enough to get there, pee, and stumble back to bed and sleep. My partner loves to joke about how I sorta bounce off of the walls and door frame on my way to and from the bathroom in the wee hours of the night. If you have your own private room and no one but you is subject to even seeing your bottle, then I'd think it's no one's business BUT YOURS.
-
It's not very sanitary...but I guess as long as noone else is subjected to it and you dump it out every morning then it really isn't anyone elses business. But yeah, kind of out of the norm of behavior, however, your perogative
-
I think that this is the kind of things that you could eventually do if you were living alone, but that you are not supposed to do if you are sharing your room with someone else. There are some cases where it could be done: - in a place or in a time where there are not near toilets, for instance, you have to go outside in the cold to reach it. People did this before the 19th century too. - you have extreme difficulties to move, for instance ill, injured people or the elderly. - for other reason, it will be often considered a bad habit I am not sure if the reason that you give would justify this behaviour. I guess that you could find a better way to solve your problem: - don't drink too much before going to bed - go to the toilet before going to bed - inform yourself about your sleep problem; for instance, you could stay some time awake and have a little walk before you go back to bed On the other hand, if it is a very big problem for you, you could try to explain this to your roommate, maybe they gain comprehension and make a compromise.

Howard Hughes might have said, "It's the wave of the future."
-
Hey, peeing in a bottle is fine with me. If I cannot pee outside, then a bottle is the next best thing. I love peeing anywhere except in a regular toilet. I hate regular toilets; urinals are ok in an emergency, but I would rather pee outside or in a bottle. I have been doing this sense the age of 12.
-
Do you empty it and wash it? As long as you clean it every day, I don't see a problem. Indoor plumbing has only been around a few generations, before that, everyone had a chamber pot under the bed. It beats wetting the bed. Now if you don't empty and clean it everyday, I'm with your roommate.
-
No, my dad does it all the time. It is not disgusting just a fact of life.
-
Its not that weird, i know people who do this. I probably wouldnt share it with your roomate though
-
As long as you empty it every morning, and don't let bottles accumulate... then it would REALLY be disgusting.
-
one word LAZY
-
yes i would consider it not only a bad habit, and lazy but unsanitary. Put a little effort into life and get up and use the toilet. That is what it was invented for.
-
No. As long as it has a lid because if you kicked it over...............then eww. but I imagine more people than you think do it.
-
I would never trust another bottle of Arizona green tea again, I got the 1 gallon plastic bottle and last night I sleep and accidentally knocked it over on the ground in my sleep, don't know when, and of course the cap is closed all the way, but it still spills tiny amount out of it, since I'm sleeping it could've spilled for a long time, and yes it was, a large area of my carpet was covered in my own piss, I've wasted good many rolls of toilet paper to absorb and dry it, but there's still urine odor, and now it smells like rotten shrimp, unless I find a reliable plastic bottle with good sealing cap, I think I'll stop this nasty habit from now on, lesson learned.
-
Yes it is. It is also gross, unhealthy and lazy.
-
Yeah, it is kinda gross. If do have sleep issues and/or incontinence problems, you should speak to your health care provider. Peeing in a bottle isn't very sanitary. I can see why your roommate would find it disgusting & what if you knock the bottle over! YUCK There must be a better solution
-
What's the problem with that? I do the same. It's emptied daily, has a screw top, doesn't smell and is convenient. What's more it saves water as less toilet flushes are needed. Most pepole find it odd though.
-
Get up and pee - dont be so lazy!!!
-
well, i think it's gross. i had a boyfriend a long time ago, that did that, and in the middle of the night, I woke up dying of thirst and it wasn't till my 2nd time waking up that night to drink the "water" that I realized it was his urine!!!! ick.
-
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
-
if your outside and you have to pee,where do you go?
-
I used to pee out the window and my father would wonder why the grass never grew in that spot lol
-
They make medication for that condition. So you needn't suffer with waking up to pee all the time create a social stigma for yourself. Living free and easy with a jar of piss in your room may be all well and good and hurray for your rights but you share space with people and clearly are freaking them out. So either seek treatment or move into your own space and tinkle where, when and how you will.
-
Talk to your MD and tell him to put in a catheter..Then when you have to pee, you just pee day or night..why worry with the bathroom. Then when the bag gets full, empty it.. Problem solved.
-
No, it is not a bad habit as long as you keep the bottle clean so it does not smell you and make sure that you totally pee in the bottle. In fact peeing in a toilet, especially a low one, can result in all the pee not getting into the toilet and spraying around, which results in a smelly bathroom. Peeing in toilets is dumb if one is any kind of a "sprayer" - houses should have urinals. No spraying and it would save a lot of water.
-
When you have roomates and there is only one bathroom, seeking a solution that benefits both you and the floor is an A+ in my book. Oh, and you might want to tell your roomate what the alternative might be if you stopped using the bottle.
-
As long as it all gets in bottle and the bottle stays in your room til thrown away. It is your room. And like someone else said, they use to use slopjars (with a lid thank Heavens) in the bedrooms at night and carry out and dump in the outhouse the next morning. Then the slopjar was cleaned and placed back in bedroom, normally under bed. I speak from personal experience, only in 50's, but parents were 40 yrs older than me and from a different time. Grew up in country with the slopjar and outhouse.
-
It would be convenient to blow my nose on my pajamas because the kleenex is in the living room, but I don't do it.
-
we do have plumbing in this day and time and have for a very long time. If you dont then fine but otherwise get off your lazy ass and go pee.
-
YES THAT IS A VERY VERY DISGUSTING HABIT!!! I would be scared to be your roomate and scarred for life. You are probably a pervert so I would like to tell you to get a life, get a toilet, and get out of here. You're very gross! :)
-
yes and there is something wrong with you
-
I think the roomate shouldn't have any problem with it as long the pee bottle is not sitting on your nightstand after you get up in the morning.
-
Considering you are able bodied i find that a very gross habit. If you had a physical disability it would be completely understandable but to me it just sounds like you're being lazy.
-
you should buy that gadget called something like the MOTORMANS FRIEND. is that what it is called? i also forget how it works. try to find it. let me know if it works.
-
I am very proud of you for asking this question. It takes a real man to admitt he is pissing in a bottle instead of going to the bathroom. Yes, you are super lazy. No, you are not alone. I would say 80 percent of men would falsely deny that they have done this, but they are liars. It is a bad habit dude. What if you have a girl over. Oh right, that's not a problem for you. And the smell man. You want that piss smell, especially when you miss the bottle and piss on your hand and blanket. Get up and go to the bathroom, dude.
